OverviewIs business, for music, a regrettable necessity or a spur to creativity? No one doubts that in the process of making and consuming music money has to change hands. But on what basis? Are there limits to the influence that economic factors can or should exert on the musical imagination and its product? In the eleven essays contained in this book the authors wrestle with this question from the perspective of their chosen area of research and come up with some unexpected answers. The range is wide: from 1700 to the present day; from England and Ireland to France and the world; from the opera house and concert hall to the community centre and seminar room; from composers, performers and pedagogues to managers, publishers and lawyers; from piano miniatures and symphonies to folk music and pop CDs. If there is a consensus, it is that music serves its own interests best when it harnesses business rather than denying it.
